Towed for first time with Maverick + 1959 Aloha Vintage Trailer

[Hiposw]

I picked up my trailer from storage for the first time with the Maverick today. Even though it was only a few miles home I could tell there will not be a problem towing with the Maverick. Really curious what the MPG will be on a longer trip. Am heading to Joshua Tree National Park next month so will find out. If it's at all better than the 11-12 mpg I got with my F150 I will be happy.

I grew up just over the freeway from Roseville near Rusch Park.

Nice truck and trailer! Is that a "retro" style camper, or an actual older one? My son is looking for small (less than 3,000 lbs) to pull behind his Jeep Gladiator. Thanks!

Thanks. It's a 1959 Aloha. It has been completely rebuilt. Weighs in at 1850 Lbs empty. I think it is the perfect size for a Maverick.

That's nice and lightweight. Great looking rebuild/restore! Thanks for the info.

Sweet camper just the kind of camper I am looking for to upgrade from my home built teardrop

Is the 4k tow package necessary for that kick ass camper? It's right on the edge, weight wise.

I think I speak for everyone when I say we need some pics of that nice trailer!

Likely to get close to 12 MPG. And with the smaller tank, you will be stopping more often. That's about what I got towing this.

Ecoboost MPG < Hybrid MPG

Ecoboost MPG < Hybrid MPG

Towing on a highway with a hybrid will keep the engine running. Almost willing to bet the MPG will be similar.
